Lin Shangwo got involved in this pick-up and drop-off inquiry, which caused the news about Min Jingyou to spread like wildfire. As soon as Lin Shangwo went out, colleagues from Taiwan businessmen who smelled the smell of meat approached him.

Naturally, they hope to be the attachés of the mission. Even if they go to Fenghuang and Shengjing, it is still a good business, and if you don't do it, it will be in vain. The profits of two or three times are not easy to get.

Min Jinghuo was very impatient of these mundane affairs. He was a noble official of the Qing Dynasty and had always been engaged in literature and art. In addition, he was born in a noble family in Beijing and was naturally superior to others. He had less empathy for the lower class than his brother Min Tinghuo, but it was understandable.

After leaving the official duties to Lin Shangwo, Hong Jinglai returned to his house. He had to find out what the situation in Hanyang was like. He would not be able to serve as a ceremonial officer for long. Once he returned to Beijing, he might be used as a gunman.

.

"How should I put it? It's really confusing and difficult to analyze." Min Jingxu was able to pass the Jinshi examination. In addition to his background, he must also have talents and learning. His political wisdom and experience must be more than Hong Jinglai's, but he didn't understand.

"Does Jin Zhengcheng have anything?"

"Do you know "Five Hui Yan Jiao"?" Min Jingyue leaned on the armrest, feeling a little tired.

"I've heard a little bit about it, but I don't know much about it. Please elaborate, sir." Hong Jinglai had some impression of this name, but that was all.

"It's a long story..."

One month before the death of King Zhengzong, that is, on May 30th of the 24th year of Zhengzong (1800), he published "Five Huiyan Jiao", which expounded his own political philosophy of adjusting Jun Lun. On the surface, he did not pursue the old theory.

He was guilty of the crime, but he also secretly revealed that he could not forgive the old argument that led to the death of Crown Prince Si Mou, and wanted to reuse the Southerners' ideas.

Let’s talk about the strict theory and the slow theory first. In the early years of King Yeongjong, there were people in each party who advocated breaking up the clique and implementing the politics of pacification. The speeches of these people are called the lax theory. Those who insist that the principles of clique are higher than the principles of pacification

, is called Jun Lun. Of course, there are some people in Jun Lun who are not opposed to the plan, but believe that the plan cannot damage Jun Lun’s position.

After the Boshin Rebellion in the 4th year of King Yeongjong (1728), the main people who controlled the power were the Jianyun Dangping faction, which had a negative attitude towards the crony politics that kept changing. The Yongjo period was generally centered on the Jianyun group, and among them

He advocated the theory of slowing down discussions and implementing the policy of pacification under the protection of people in order to stabilize the political situation and strengthen the royal power.

To a certain extent, the theory of dissolution and preservation of unity in the Dingping theory is opposed to Zhu Zixue’s theory of status and the theory of gentlemen and villains. At that time, some people who advocated slowing down the theory of Dingping divided the clique into the party of gentlemen and the party of villains, and some even denied that

In the past, the theory of gentleman and villain distinguished literati and bureaucrats.

For King Yeongjong, the doctrines of each party were collectively referred to as "party theory." In order to pursue the selfish interests of one party, the king was regarded as the leader of the party, which led to each party choosing its own monarch. That is, party theory harmed the monarch.

The authority of the government is based on self-righteousness for its own selfish interests, so party members are not qualified to discuss right and wrong. Under this theory, there is naturally no need to divide into any bullshit parties. All politics are centered on the king, who controls party discussions and selects talents.

In short, the theory of pacification generally became the dominant concept in political operations for about seventy years during the Yeongjong and Jeongjong periods. During the reign of King Yeongjong, the theory of pacification was mainly held in power. In the late period of the Yeongjong Dynasty and after the Yihai Prison Incident, although the old theory of one party

Although they have taken control of political power, they cannot fully act in accordance with their political ideals.

During this period, some southerners were studying the political thoughts of Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, while Shao Lun was studying the Chinese political system in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which also had a certain impact on Yingzong's plan to suppress the faction. On the surface, the plan to suppress the factions was to weaken the political system.

The power of Gyeonggi's famous families has expanded through constant changes in the past.

After the great punishment of Jiyou, Yingzong implemented the politics of pacification with the support of the Laolun and Shaolun Zhongluolun factions. The forces of Laolun and Shaolun, the Zhongluolun faction took control of the power. In the 16th year of Yingzong (1740), politics took another major turn. Xin

Almost all those directly involved in the Ren Prison Incident were dead by this period, so the character-centered guarantee in the previous stage was no longer necessary, and would later be transformed into a system-centered guarantee.

The first is to reform the official Cao Langguan's power to pass the Qing Dynasty [Note 1] and the Hanlin's recommendation law, abolish the status of important Qing positions in the Korean bureaucracy that have retained traditional official positions since the Goryeo Dynasty, and further tighten the rank order of officials.

Power was concentrated in the hands of the prime ministers of the Dangping faction, which stabilized the Dangping political situation centered on slow discussion for a long time.

"Xu Dadian" was compiled at this time. Jinchang Collection, Li Yiming was redressed, and the four ministers of Laolun who died in Xinren's prison were all restored to power, and the controversial issues disappeared. During this period, Laolun and Jin were in Lu, and Shao Lun was in Lu.

Regarding the Yin and Ming Dynasties of Song Dynasty, the regime formed by Zhao Xianming lasted for about twelve years. During these twelve years, he monopolized the prime minister's office and dominated the political situation. This was the period when the Yingzong policy was best implemented.

However, during this period, the forces advocating strict discussion and balanced discussion were also developing, and the Qingnan series was also cultivating its own power base. However, some famous families in the LaoLun and ShaoLun forces gradually became Qi Chen and became Qi Chen's leading group.

A party. Around the time when the Equal Service Act was implemented in the 26th year of King Yeongjong's reign (1750), the royal family's relatives actually dominated the political situation and became a form of neutralizing the political power. On the contrary, it would threaten the power of the successor to the throne. Therefore, it had to be used during the reign of King Jeongjong.

A solemn argument that attaches great importance to moral principles and political principles.

In fact, after King Zhengzong succeeded to the throne, the original slow talk about Yingzong's appointment gradually changed to a serious talk, and the situation in the court changed again!

The reason is also very realistic, because as a result of the implementation of the theory of delaying discussion and banishing theory during the Yingzong period, scholars no longer paid attention to principles and principles. Powerful ministers and his followers concealed their party affiliations, recommended them together, and practiced mutual promotion and pairing. On the surface,

On the surface it seems like a pacification, but in reality it is seeking personal gain. Not only does it fail to eliminate the drawbacks of party strife, it also brings about the resurrection of the politics of cliques and ministers, threatening the royal power.

At that time, the general scholar-bureaucrats and even the common people thought that the world had been lost, so they demanded to restore the world. Therefore, after King Jeongjo came to the throne, he focused on the Qing Dynasty, discussed the characters, and implemented the politics of peace with them as the center.

The result of this was to disintegrate the two kinship parties of Hong Bonghan (father of Concubine Hong of Hyegyeong Palace) and Jin Guizhu (1740-1786, the eldest brother of Concubine Jeongsun) who emerged in the later years of Yeongjong, and criticized Zhao Zaihan who supported their righteousness.

Li Deshi, Chen Xiangyun, Hong Zhihai and others.

The Hong Qixi family, Kim Sang-roo, Zheng Houqian, Hong Linhan and other old and young Lun Dingping party members who were in alliance with relatives or consorts were also expelled. Some of the Hung Qi-xi family members, such as Hong Qineng and Hong Zhihai, were also expelled.

Hong Lianghai and others were also expelled. Lao Lun, Shao Lun and southern Jun Lun people were given preferential treatment. At the same time, while flaunting right-wing politics, they cut off the connection between scholar-bureaucrats and relatives of the royal family. (The Fengshan Hong family became the successor after this.

Basically cool.)

That is to say, in the mind of King Zhengzong, Giri, the so-called political and moral commanding heights, was once again restored, but the masters of this commanding heights were himself and the southern forces headed by Prime Minister Cai Jigong.

That’s the principle of “theory of monarchical doctrine”!

So the resurgent "giri" theory has now become the most important political node after the death of King Masamune!

In the past, Princess Jeongsun listened to the government behind the curtain, and the old sect who did not care much about justice now saw that Princess Jeongsun was getting worse day by day, and she was in danger at any time.

So if you want to continue to control the political power and suppress the emerging foreign relatives, the best way is to grasp the commanding heights of the political morality of the entire Li Dynasty - "righteousness"!

A few years ago, the secluded faction launched the "Xinyou Evil Prison" in order to expel the Southern Shi faction forces from the court. This incident directly led to the total collapse of the Shi faction forces, and the Southerners were expelled!

In itself, this kind of behavior is just a party struggle, and it is just in the name of expelling Christianity. But now it seems that such behavior has made the secluded faction the guardian of the orthodox doctrine of "Zhu Xixue". After all, it includes Christianity.

The Western theory within it is a "heretical theory". Expelling this heresy is equivalent to defending orthodoxy.

Returning to the "Wuhuiyan Jiao", as a decree promulgated by King Zhengzong during his lifetime, it involves the Renwu Principles related to the death of Zhengzong's biological father, Simo, the crown prince. Zhengzong mentioned the Lao Lun Seo sect on the one hand in the decree.

responsibility, but also said that because they did not oppose their reform policies, they would no longer pursue the case.

This was to ease the opposition of Lao Lun ect to the reform politics, and was related to the final outcome of Jeongjo's political reform. But after his sudden death, it meant that the owner of the final interpretation power was gone!

The Laolunse sect headed by Jin Dachun has now publicly pointed out that they believe that this decree shows that Zhengzong has recognized their legitimacy. In this way, the theoretical basis of the Laolunse sect is not only Zhu Xi’s theory of righteousness, but also “the ancient kings’

theory" to consolidate his political stance.

The secluded faction no longer controls the political power just because Princess Zhenshun listens behind the curtain, but because they grasp the principles and principles. They are a group of gentlemen who adhere to Zhu Zixue. They should control the political power as a matter of course.

The proposal of this proposition now caused an uproar in Hanyang's political arena, and the foreign relatives' forces and the remaining southern factional forces were unable to refute it for a while.

The decree of King Zhengzong is clearly there and clearly written. And Kwon Yu, whom Hong Jinglai attacked just now, was imprisoned for rebelling against the decree of the late king. So who dares to jump out and say that what Jin Dalshun said is wrong, that is rebellion.

The late king!

Even if you kill him!

This made the momentum of the secluded faction instantly occupy the commanding heights of the entire politics, so much so that Shen Huan (zhi), the secluded faction general who died last month, directly gave posthumous gifts to discuss affairs and was buried as a first-class Da Kuang Fu Guo Chonglu doctor. And he received

To pursue a posthumous title is to deserve the honor of being a true king.

The secluded sect that originally looked at the precarious situation has now become the wave maker, the one who controls the direction of the wind. Even King Sunzong cannot point out that what they say is wrong.

If Hong Jinglai was still in Hanyang, he would be crushed to death like a bug!
